Miles to Go

After hearing that a mobster has died, Miles reveals that he has been in a witness protection program. However, when it is revealed that the mobster faked his death, Miles must leave Miami and go into hiding.

Notes (1)

Miles is revealed to have been on the federal witness protection program, hiding out after being a "snitch in a tie" to a criminal incident. This story remains in good continuity for awhile but then ceases to be onward.

Trivia (2)

In this episode, "Miles" is actually revealed to be "Nicolas Carbone", and "Miles Webber" is actually his name in the Witness Protection Program. However, in other episodes after this one, he is still referred to as "Miles".

Rose tells a story about a friend of hers who adopted what she thought was a chihuahua dog, but later found out was a rat. This is exactly like the urban legend of the Mexican Pet.

Allusions (2)

"Miles to go before I sleep" is the final line of the Robert Frost poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." Miles gives Rose a book of Frost's poetry when he leaves for the Witness Protection Program. The lines Rose quotes at the end are from the last stanza of Frost's "Reluctance."

Miles: The Federal Witness Protection ProgramThe Federal Witness Protection/Relocation/Secruity program is a program offered in the US for people who could be in danger after witnessing or being the victim of a crime when the criminal(s) have not been placed in custody. Apparently, Miles snitched on the "Cheeseman" and was in danger. Once you've entered the program, you are not to reveal your real identity to anyone until it's annouced safe...so you live under an assumed name and an assumed life.
